随着英国第 28 条（禁止在学校宣传同性恋的法律）颁布周年纪念日的临近，我们又站在了一个十字路口。极右翼团体抗议学校将宣传LGBTQAI+纳入课程。《第二十八条条款》的故事发生在一所因其平等政策而受到攻击的学校里，学校将召开董事会决定如何处理此事，但如果学校的校长是一名同性恋者，你又该如何？由詹姆斯-麦克德莫特创作、斯科特-赫兰执导的新短片《第二十八条条款》记录了在同性恋教师曼尼和盖伊做出决定之前，学校午休时间所剩的5分钟。

As we approach the anniversary of Section 28 in the Uk; the law that banned the promotion of homosexuality in schools we find ourselves at another crossroads. With far right groups protesting schools that seek to include LGBTQAi+ promotion in their curriculum. CLAUSE is a set in a school that is being attacked for its equality policies, there is going to be a board meeting to decide what happens, but what do you do when the headteacher of the school is a gay man. CLAUSE a new short film by James McDermott and directed by Scott Hurran documents the 5mins left in the school lunch break, before gay teachers Manny & Guy have to make a decision.

我一直对讲述大政治如何影响小人物的故事感兴趣，也一直对讲述处于政治中心的同性恋故事感兴趣。第28条是一个流传至今的遗产，作为生活在埃塞克斯郡的同性恋者，我和诺福克郡的作家詹姆斯都是在这个教育系统中长大的。然而，很多人对这项政策并不熟悉，但他们都曾是这项政策下的学生。学校中的LGBTQAI+教育仍处于最低水平，并受到各种团体的威胁，试图阻止这一政策的实施。

我和詹姆斯希望找到一种方式，在现代社会中讲述这个故事，这个时代，教师和学生仍然在社会系统中挣扎于自己的身份认同。

I am always interested in telling stories about how big politics impact small people, and am always interested in telling queer stories at the centre of this. Section 28 is a legacy that lives on today, its the education system that I was brought up in as a gay man living in Essex, and James the writer in Norfolk. Yet its a policy so many people are not familiar with but were a student under it. LGBTQAi+ teaching at schools is still at a minimum and is under threat by various groups who try to stop this.

Me and James wanted to find a way to tell this story in the modern world, where teachers, and students still find it hard to find their identity in a system that struggles to recognise who they are.
